Computerized or not?

You should answer many questions, for good advise.
Why are you doing this?
What year carb. is it?
What year car do you have?, and has it been modified?
Let's start with these. Many here have the knowledge you seek. We all need the facts.

non computerized, switching from tbi, unknown carb year came off of an old k5 blazer 350. i have an 88 bird with an early 80-85 305 in it, all stock.

Do you need to worry about emissions?

No, other than rebuilding the carb, it's a Qjet, you'll be fine. You'll need to remove the ECM from the car, change the distributor to a vacuum advance and unhook the knock sensor, EGR, etc to get it to work right.

leave the ECM installed though, it'll still run your fan.,

no emissions, knock sensor egr all that already off, as motor was originally cc quad, but i have wiring in the car for tbi. going to get hei dist. i have the old cc quad, is there any way i can run the electric choke from that and put it on my non cc quad?

SouthSide2

Yes you can use a electric choke if you have the right type of carb, Find the carb # it's on the right side. Look it up it easy to find what it is .

ok numbers on non cc carb is 7045193 1185 and cc carb is 17083204 1433 FRB, will the electric choke from cc carb work on my non cc carb?

Congrats. Just make sure armature is set right on the mechanism itself. There are a few threads on here that talk about it, just give it a "search".

Might even be able to use the harness that's in their for choke power.

tune your secondaies. they're actually pretty good carbs when tuned right.

you take the carb apart and see if all the jets and needle and seat are free and working properly before you put it on?

Did you rebuild the carb before installing it or just throw it on?

no telling what kind of gunk is in it.
